It was March 15th, the fourth year of Dalong's reign.
From the Qinzheng Hall in the Imperial Palace, Du Chenghao, the Minister of Civil Service, walked out with a cheerful expression on his face, holding the document in his hand.
"Your Majesty, after the Spring Examination, the candidates' test papers have been reviewed by fifteen examiners. This is the list of high schools drawn up by the fifteen examiners. Please take a look at it.
All the exam papers of the candidates who are on the list have been placed under strict supervision at the official office, waiting for His Majesty to call them for verification at any time.
The old minister hopes that His Majesty will immediately send the imperial army to the Ministry of Civil Affairs and Yamen Office to get the candidates' test papers for verification and finalization.
Then the results will be released as soon as possible to comfort the eagerness of students from all over the capital.
The old minister thought that the students taking the examination in various prefectures and capitals are now waiting for the imperial court's list, and they are probably tired of waiting. "
Liu Mingzhi nodded slightly and turned to look at Song Qing: "King Wuyi."
Song Qing strode out and bowed, "I'm here."
"You immediately dispatch three hundred forbidden troops and go to the official office to escort the test papers of the famous students on the list to the palace."
"I obey the decree."
"By the way, the test papers of the failed students are also being sent here."
"In compliance with the order, I retire."
"Little Chengzi."
"yes."
Xiao Chengzi hurriedly walked down the Longtai, took the document from Du Chenghao's hand, ran back to the Longtai and handed it to Liu Mingzhi.
Liu Mingzhi picked up the tea tree and moistened his throat, then picked up the document and started to read it.
The first name will be Lin Hanzhi of Yuan Dynasty.
Gongshi Li Wenbo.
Gongshi Chen Tonggong.
Gongshi Yan Yinan.
…
Gongsheng Li Shun.
In this spring examination, a total of 313 Gongsheng students were entered, and all their names are on the page.
Liu Mingzhi roughly scanned the page for the famous students, and finally his eyes returned to the name of Lin Hanzhi, the top student.
Looking at Lin Hanzhi's name, Liu Mingzhi couldn't help but have his thoughts racing, and fragments of memories about last year flashed subconsciously in his mind.
It was the day when he and Tao Ying agreed that he would spend an unforgettable birthday with her. It was also the day when he met Lin Hanzhi, a poor student taking the exam.
If Tao Ying had a spirit in heaven, I don't know how she would feel if she knew that the student who was so poor that she borrowed money from her husband actually got the top honors in high school.
When you think about it, you will definitely feel...sigh...
Forcibly expelling Tao Ying's voice and smile from his mind, Liu Mingzhi deliberately did not think deeply about it, but turned his mind to Lin Hanzhi.
This guy still owes me fifty taels of silver!
This time he is the top student in high school. After receiving the reward from the court, he should return it to himself, right?
I hope this kid can keep his promise, otherwise his whole life's future will be ruined because of these fifty taels of silver.
Closing the list of Gongsheng students in his hand with a half-smile, Liu Mingzhi looked at Du Chenghao.
"Ministry of Staff."
"The old minister is here."
"It seems that Lin Hanzhi, the famous Hui Yuan, was also the number one Jie Yuan in Kunzhou back then, right?"
"Your Majesty, the number one on this list, Hui Yuan and Lin Hanzhi, is the number one in Kunzhou Prefecture, Jie Yuan.
Now, not only the veterans, but also the fifteen examiners are waiting eagerly to see if Lin Hanzhi can get a big three yuan in one fell swoop.
If he wins the big three yuan in one fell swoop, then Lin Hanzhi will really become famous all over the world after ten years of hard work and no one cares about him.
You must know that it has been more than ten years, and there has not been a scholar in our dynasty who has won the Great Sanyuan in one fell swoop. Now I finally see a glimmer of hope.
I hope Lin Hanzhi can live up to expectations. "
Liu Mingzhi looked at the expectant smile on Du Chenghao's face, put down the paperwork in his hand with a smile, got up and walked towards the dragon platform.
"If Du Aiqing said this, he definitely hopes to see a top three Jinshi from our country who can win three yuan in a row.
I thought about it, and in order for our new dynasty to produce a candidate who can pass the three-level examination of Zhongzhong University, I might as well cheat a little and reveal to Lin Hanzhi in advance the questions I will take in the imperial examination.
It might also help him to ascend to the throne of Enke's number one scholar in one fell swoop. This will fulfill your wish, old love. What do you think, old love? "
Du Chenghao was stunned for a moment, came to his senses, shook his head and took a few steps back.
"Hey, your Majesty, you can't make this joke, you can't make this joke!
Enke's selection of scholars is to select talents for the imperial court, the cornerstone of the country, how can it be such a child's play?
Whether Lin Hanzhi can come out on top depends entirely on whether he has real talent or not.
Not to mention the ministers who could not see the big three yuan obtained through favoritism and fraud, Lin Hanzhi himself would also think that this was an insult to him by the imperial court.
This is about the court's face in the eyes of scholars all over the world. Your Majesty must not act recklessly!
If this spreads out, not only will the court's face be lost, but even His Majesty's majesty will be lost.
It’s not a child’s play, it must not be a child’s play. "
Not only Du Chenghao, but also the rest of the civil and military officials subconsciously twitched their eyes.
Looking at Du Chenghao who was serious about his business, Liu Mingzhi couldn't help but laugh.
"I was just joking, how could I take it seriously?
It is a matter of great importance for the imperial court to select talents. How could I treat it as a child's play? "
"It would be fine if I didn't, it would be fine if I didn't. I have the guts to say something disrespectful. Your Majesty never acts in accordance with common sense. I am really worried that your Majesty will..."
"No! No!"
"Your Majesty, Song Qing, has come to see you and report back to Your Majesty that the test papers of all the scholars who are taking the examination have been escorted back and are waiting outside the palace."
"Bring it in."
"As commanded."
Song Qing leaned out and waved to the Forbidden Army soldiers outside the hall, and more than 20 Forbidden Army soldiers walked into the hall in pairs carrying heavy boxes with heavy locks.
After dividing the ten large boxes into two places and placing them, more than twenty imperial guards bowed to Liu Mingzhi and retreated out of the hall.
Liu Mingzhi looked at the box placed alone in front of him, then raised his eyes to look at Du Chenghao: "Old Ai Qing, where is the key?"
"Take it with you! Take it with you! Your Majesty, wait a moment, I will unlock it immediately."
After a while, Liu Mingzhi picked up the test paper on the top of the box and took a look at it. Sure enough, it was Lin Hanzhi's test paper.
Liu Mingzhi took Lin Hanzhi's test paper and sat cross-legged on the carpet: "Xiao Chengzi."
"His Majesty?"
"Instruct the imperial dining room to prepare meals for me and all my ministers."
"As commanded, we shall retire."
After Xiao Chengzi left, Liu Mingzhi waved to the surrounding civil and military officials.
"My dear friends, please help me check the test papers selected by Dai Haosong and his fifteen dear friends, so that the results can be released tomorrow.
If you encounter a controversial test paper, leave it in my hands. "
"I obey the order."
In less than a minute, the Qinzheng Hall echoed with the rustling of examination papers.
From the time when the sun rises until the moonlight hangs high in the sky, the voices in Qinzheng Hall gradually calm down.
Liu Mingzhi and Manchao Wenwu sat in the Qinzheng Hall checking the test papers for a whole day before they were finally finished.
The next day, as soon as the sky brightened, the sound of gongs and drums echoed everywhere in the two cities inside and outside the capital.
The loud shouts of the officials and officials woke up all the students who were still sleeping.
Although they didn't know whether they would be able to go to high school, all the students hurriedly started to get up and wash up.
Restaurants, inns, inns, people's colleges... these places are full of students taking exams.
"Your Majesty has decreed that the imperial court will post a golden plaque at Jing'an Gate at Chensi. At Chensi, the officials of the Ministry of Civil Affairs will announce the good news."
"Your Majesty has decreed that the imperial court will post a golden plaque at Jing'an Gate at Chensi. At Chensi, the officials of the Ministry of Civil Affairs will announce the good news."
"Your Majesty has decreed that the imperial court will post a golden plaque at Jing'an Gate at Chensi. At Chensi, the officials of the Ministry of Civil Affairs will announce the good news."
For a moment, I heard the shouts of the officials and officials along the street. Some students taking the exam ran in groups in the direction of Jing'an Gate. Some students were waiting in their temporary residences or at home. .
I don’t know if I am confident that I can be named on the gold list, or if I am self-aware.
Around three o'clock in the morning, a slightly thin but youthful young man appeared on the street. The man held a baggage in his arms and ran panting to the Gua stall outside Penglai Restaurant and stopped.
"First...huh...sir, I have met you, are you polite?
Wansheng abided by the previous agreement and came to pay off the debt as promised.
